38 year old Amanda Sheridan of Hastings who worked as a medical assistant, pleaded guilty to the charge that resulted in fraudulant prescriptions totaling over 4, 000 pills, including Norco, Adderall and other highly-abused controlled substances, according to a U.S. Attorney in Grand Rapids.
Sheridan stole a Doctor's prescription pad and used it to obtain the pills.
The U.S. Atorney said in a statement, "That commitment includes federal prosecution of individuals who abuse their position in the medical field to divert prescription controlled substances to the street."
